If you want your business to actually grow, you need to show up where your neighbors are looking—and that’s online, in local search results. Not buried on page three behind competitors from Seattle or Portland. Right there when someone searches “near me.”
That’s what our local marketing work focuses on. Getting you visible so people nearby can find you without scrolling through pages of businesses that aren’t located in Vancouver.

A lot of that starts with your Google Business Profile. We make sure everything’s accurate and current (because outdated hours or a wrong phone number? That loses customers instantly). Then we optimize it with the keywords people in Vancouver actually type in when they search. It’s not just filling in fields—it’s making your profile work for you.

We also dig into your website’s local SEO. That means researching location-based keywords that matter specifically in the Esther Short area, tracking how you’re showing up online, and working to drive more traffic that turns into actual leads. People who walk through your door or pick up the phone.

Whether you’re trying to bring in new customers or strengthen your reputation locally, we build strategies that get real results you can measure. Not vague promises—actual foot traffic and phone calls.

Google reviews make up 15% of your local search ranking. Moz confirmed this. If you’re not in the top three local results, you’re invisible. 99% of people read reviews before buying. They spend 13 minutes reading 6 to 10 reviews to decide if they trust you.

We had an attorney client near Vancouver Citry Hall and his phone stopped ringing. One eight-month-old negative review at the top of their Google profile. No response. Their competitor with worse ratings was getting calls because they responded within 24 hours.

Getting reviews needs a system. Ask right after a good experience. Make it easy with a direct link. Do it consistently. Negative reviews will happen. Sterling Sky research found businesses with some negatives often beat perfect ratings. Nobody trusts perfect.

89% of consumers read your responses to reviews. They’re checking if you actually care. We build review systems, respond professionally to negatives, and track what impacts your visibility.

Your Google Business Profile shows up when people search for businesses like yours. We make sure it’s complete – current services, accurate phone number, business description that actually explains what you do. Most businesses set it up once and forget about it. Then wonder why calls dropped off.

Social media’s the same story. Posting when you remember doesn’t work. We had a landscaping client in Vancouver – posted maybe twice a month, just random before/after photos. No captions. No strategy. We switched them to four posts weekly. Project updates, customer shout-outs, seasonal tips. Engagement went up 60% in six weeks. More importantly, phone inquiries doubled. We manage Instagram, X, and Facebook. Create posts, respond to comments and messages, share reviews from happy customers. The goal isn’t just visibility – it’s keeping your business in front of people when they’re ready to buy. Consistency beats perfection every time.

Question: Can local SEO target a specific neighborhood like Esther Short?

• Answer:Yes – when we set up your Google listing, we don’t just put “Vancouver WA.” We actually specify Esther Short as your service area. Why bother? Well, say someone’s walking around Esther Short and pulls out their phone to find a place nearby. If your listing says Esther Short, you pop up first. If it just says Vancouver, you’re competing with every business in the whole city. Big difference. Coffee shop down on Main did this last summer. Started getting way more walk-ins from the neighborhood instead of people driving in from Hazel Dell or wherever.

Question: Do online reviews actually affect where I show up in Google?

• Answer: Definitely, yes. So Google’s looking at a few things. How many reviews do you have total? When’s the last time someone left one? Do you ever write back to people who review you? All that stuff matters. Here’s the thing though – reviews from like 2019 don’t really move the needle anymore. You need fresh ones. Dentist over on Fourth Plain had maybe 10 reviews, all pretty old. Started asking patients after cleanings if they’d mind leaving one. Got 20 more in a couple months. Boom – went from nowhere to showing up in the top three when you search for dentists in Vancouver. Didn’t change anything else.

Question: What’s the difference between website SEO and Google Business Profile optimization?

• Answer: Alright so you know when you Google something and there’s that little map at the top with three businesses? That’s not your website showing up there. That’s your Google Business Profile. Totally separate from your actual website. The regular search results underneath – those blue links – that’s where your website shows up. Two different beasts. A local HVAC company, hsd a great website and ranking pretty well. But he couldn’t figure out why his phone wasn’t ringing. Turns out his Business Profile had the wrong number. It still listed his old cell from before he got the business line. We fixed it in 10 minutes and started getting calls that same week.
